How polygamy became my biggest mistake ever – Journalist shares

How polygamy became my biggest mistake ever – Journalist shares

A journalist by the name Maynard Manyowa has narrated how becoming a polygamist became the biggest mistake he regrets making.

Polygamy biggest mistake journalist

Maynard shared his experience in reaction to a post which described polygamy as the future. He explained that he never knew peace while married to two women. According to him, he had only loved one woman and had only married the second because he didn’t want her to suffer the public disgrace of not being married. Maynard said that the union had only lasted 10 years during which he nearly lost the one he truly loved. He wrote: “As a former polygamist – I say this is bad advice. You will never know peace. I was a lousy polygamist because I only ever loved one woman. And the other was not really my Mrs but someone I didn’t want to suffer ignominy of not being married. Biggest mistake ever. Don’t do it Let me just add. When polygamy is great, it’s amazing. In fact polygamy is all good until it is all bad! I enjoyed 10 years of it. Sweet! Only issue is, in trying to keep the woman I didn’t want – I then nearly lost the one I wanted. So perhaps polygamy isn’t bad – I am.”

How my father was rewarded after spending 37 years trying to make his wife happy — Journalist narrates

How my father was rewarded after spending 37 years trying to make his wife happy — Journalist narrates

Journalist, David Hundeyin, narrates the heartbreaking experience his father went through in the name of trying to make his wife happy.
How my dad was rewarded after spending 37 years trying to make his wife happy — Journalist narrates david hundeyin

Taking to the microblogging platform, Twitter, to pen his traumatizing experience of how his dad’s 37 years of labor went down the drain without recognition from his mother.
The journalist added how the experience gave him a reason to opt for divorce months after his dad’s passing.
Read his narration below …

“My old man spent 37 years building an empire with a woman who was simply incapable of love, even after 5 children.
Of course he died before her, estranged from even his children after she isolated him from everyone including his family to make him dependent on her.
And when he died and went I to the ground at Vaults & Gardens, let me tell you what happened: NOTHING.
Within 1 week, my phone stopped ringing. The world moved on. His wife started chasing his property. I resumed my new job at Channels TV.
Nothing happened. Absolutely nothing.
His good friend Paul the Flour Mills GM invited me for a chat at the Wheatbaker, and spent half of the conversation boasting about his new house on Bourdillon Road. No closure, no resolution, nothing.
It was traumatising as hell, but I learned a very valuable lesson from it.
Lesson: Evolution has designated men to be the protectors and problem solvers for the human species, but men should not let their whole lives revolve around trying to make a woman happy.
Because when you try and fail and die trying, the world moves on. Nothing will happen.
There was no medal for D.F.’s dead body after 37 years of unhappy marriage. His sacrifice was not recognised. Nobody cared.
It’s no coincidence that within 12 months of his death, I asked for a divorce.
I can never forget that lesson.”
